Chapter 56: The Green Years
The audition environment of the great director Zhang Xun is actually very simple, and Gu Wu waited for half an hour before being called in.
Zhang Xun sat in the middle, flanked by producers and investors.
Zhang Xun glanced at the camera in the middle and motioned for her to start.
Gu Wu slowly took a breath, walked to the middle and stood up to start the most important audition in her life.
**********
Zhang Xiao's legs trembled uncontrollably, he was a little irritable in his heart, he wanted to get up and walk to the door to see what the scene was inside, but when he turned around, he found that the staff was sitting opposite, staring at the screen in front of him with his hands flying.
He suppressed his impulse and walked outside and silently lit a cigarette.
Before he was halfway through, he heard a voice behind him, and suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Xun walking towards him with Gu Wu.
hurriedly extinguished the cigarette butt, and before he could stand up, he heard Zhang Xun say to himself: "Go." β
Zhang Xiao was dazed: "Huh? β
Zhang Xun turned around: "What are you in a daze?" Signing?! β
Zhang Xiao followed Zhang Xun directly into his office, until the producer took out the contract Zhang Xiao seemed to suddenly react, and the wandering soul suddenly fell back into his body, and reason followed back into his brain.
As a highly skilled broker, he immediately devoted himself to the study of contracts.
After more than ten minutes, he looked up.
"We didn't find any problems with the rest, just ............"
Zhang Xun stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking, pointed to the producer on the side and said, "You go talk to him." β
When the two walked aside to discuss the contract, Zhang Xun handed Gu a brand-new script and said with a smile: "This is the latest script, you go back and study it carefully." β
Gu Wu probably flipped through it and found that many plots had changed, and even from it, Gu Wu saw that the characters' personalities had changed a lot, and she raised her head and looked at the director in surprise.
Zhang Xun leaned back on the sofa and explained: "What I gave you is only the initial version, and the audition is of course based on the character design of the original version to see your audition effect." We started up in half a month, and during this time, in addition to studying the script well, I hope you can gain weight. β
Gu Wu: "Huh? β
You must know that the camera is very cruel, as long as you are a little fatter and a few pounds, basically no one can see it when you are face-to-face, but as long as you are on camera, you can definitely be discovered by the audience.
So for an actor, controlling your weight is simply a compulsory course.
In this regard, Gu Wu is a relatively lucky person, she is not easy to gain weight, as long as you pay attention not to eat high-calorie food, she will not gain weight if she eats normally.
Zhang Xun explained: "The girl you played was only sixteen years old when she first appeared, she had an innocent and naΓ―ve face that did not understand the world, and the baby fat on her face had not receded. In addition, it is puberty, so you have to maintain a slightly heavier weight for the first part of the whole movie. But in the middle and late stages of shooting, you're going to have to lose weight, no problem, right? β
Controlling the weight allows it to change with the image of the character, and many professional actors in Europe and the United States do this. However, this situation is rare in China.
Because first, many domestic movies are not filmed for a long time, and their income cannot be compared with European and American film actors. Not to mention that some people shoot several dramas at the same time, how can this kind of star who shuttles between several crews make him make such a sacrifice for a play?
However, Zhang Xun is not among them, his status determines his right to speak, Gu Wu believes that if he is a first-line female star in front of him, they will agree to hear the director's request.
Seeing that Gu Wu agreed without thinking about it, the satisfaction in Zhang Xun's eyes flashed. It seems that Fu Xiu's suspicions to him at that time were correct, this girl is a person who puts her heart on acting.
He patted Gu Wu on the shoulder, and said in the tone of an elder for the first time: "Acting is a very hard thing, but it also gives people an extraordinary sense of satisfaction. Talent, hard work, and luck are all indispensable. β
**************
After signing the contract, because of the confidentiality in the early stage, Gu Wu didn't say anything, and no one in the entire company except Zhang Xiao and Hou Fuxiu knew that she was about to be the heroine of Zhang Xun's movie.
Compared with Gu Wu's low-key, Wei Yi's topic is much bigger.
On the first day she joined the crew, her fans had already received the news, and not only began to help with publicity, but even sent gifts to the crew.
This battle is the first time Li Youcheng has met, none of the actors he has worked with in the past have so many fans, everyone is quietly filming and quietly shutting down. At most, it was lively at the finale banquet, not to mention fans, and even the media were few.
Wei Yi did this, Li Youcheng didn't say anything at first, but a few careless fans rushed into the set and affected the filming, Li Youcheng's already irritable temper immediately couldn't be suppressed, and he immediately blackened his face at Wei Yi.
This is the best movie resource she has come into contact with in a few years, and if Huang Weiyi is made by ignorant fans, she simply wants to strangle herself, so she posted a sternly worded statement on Weibo that night, and Weibo exploded in an instant.
Wei Yi's fans can still understand her, but onlookers don't think so, from the perspective of passers-by, they feel that Wei Yi has a lot of things, and the fans are kind enough to visit the class and scold the heavens and the earth, who will they show their faces?
In this way, although a sternly worded statement banned private visits, it made Wei Yiyi many more passers-by black.
Although these things have made a lot of noise on the Internet, she has never cared about Gu Wu at all, she either reads the script or practices her lines every day, and she only knows about Wei Yi's matter by glancing at the news.
During the period when she was preparing to join the group, Zhang Xunli's TV series "Flying Song of Daming Palace" was finally released in the summer after two years. As Gu Wu thought, this TV series that was not good-looking before the start of the broadcast hit the highest ratings of the year in one fell swoop, and with the development of the plot, Wei Yi, who was originally deep in the whirlpool of public opinion, immediately turned over and attracted a large number of fans, and Gu Wu also relied on the role of the hedge, so that the fans who were about to go away from her gathered again.
Zhang Xiao looked at Gu Wu's Weibo and sighed: "Your luck is really good, I originally saw that the audience was about to forget about you, but I didn't expect a TV series to rise again." Now you've got a million followers and four-digit reviews. It's strange, it stands to reason that you play that hedge is a complete villain, why does the audience like you so much? β
Gu Wu smiled: "The villain will be likable if he plays well, as long as some of the audience can understand that the hedge is no different from the heroine, but they are in opposite positions, one is the winner and the other is the loser." Many people will sympathize with the loser, and some people will appreciate the character of the hedge that dares to love and hate, each character has its own shining point, as long as the expression xiΓ n these audiences can naturally see it. β
After listening to her words, Zhang Xiao reluctantly put down his phone and said, "You are still short of the most important conclusion." β
Gu Wu: "What? β
"Face!"
